Whats to come in January

Happy New Year Everyone! I am so excited to be starting this new

classroom with your children. Were going to have a lot of fun. Because
this is a new classroom, well be starting the month of January like we
would if we were starting in August. Our main focuses this month will be:
Classroom familiarity (teacher, students, environment), grace and courtesy, feelings, care of self, and
character education. The shelves look bare but its not for lack of materials. The materials will be slowly
introduced into the classroom as your child becomes more comfortable in then environment and
becomes ready for the new works. Below are highlights of works to expect in each area of the classroom.
